  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • I typically use EndeavorOS because I enjoy how well documented and organized the arch wiki is.

    I tried switching to fedora on my laptop recently but actually had some issues with software that was apparently only distributed through the AUR or AppImage (which I could have used, I know).

    When I also had issues setting up my VPN to my home network again, I caved and restored the disk to a backup I took before attempting the switch. The VPN thing almost definitely wasn't Fedoras fault since I remember running into the same issue on EndeavorOS but after my fix from last time didn't work I was out of patience.

    My servers runs either on debian or Ubuntu LTS though.

  • Why not skip ahead in time a little and call it farmarr?

  • Every Terminal program should have a black background by default

    Jump

  • I sometimes prefer light mode, for example on my laptop in bright environments because I find that it gives me better contrast and keeps more of the screen viewable

  • Old Thin Clients - Which CPU is fine?

    Jump

  • I know you didn't mention video but if you think you might want to host jellyfin in the future, make sure your CPU supports hardware decoding for modern formats.

    For example, my lenovo mini pc with an i5-6500 has support for h265 but not h265 10bit or AV1, which makes playing those formats on some devices basically impossible without re-encoding the files.

  • How is it going, TeamSpeak?

  • My group never left fortunately. We still have a dude paying to host a ts3 server and we always get weird comments when we occasionally invite people we play with

  • Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen and paper instead

    Jump

  • I'm at the point where I wish I had more reasons to use pen and paper because I have a couple fountain pens I really want to use more.

    Unfortunately my entire work is computer based and it does not make sense to put my notes on paper because I write them as documentation for my work.

  • what does your "workshop" look like?

    Jump

  • I had a single desk in my bedroom set aside for projects. Above that desk I had a pegboard for some frequently used tools and a small shelf next to the desk where I out anything that has its own case.

    Not that great but it worked for me.

  • what does your "workshop" look like?

    Jump

  • Sounds nice but the main issue I personally see with that bag philosophy is needing the same tool for 2 different tasks. I'm sure as heck not buying a second pair of 50 euro knipex because I have the other pair set aside for some other task.

    Currently I can barely get most of tools that don't have a box of their own into a big metal toolbox. If I was going to live where I am currently for more than the next year I might think about setting up a pegboard for my tools again. Maybe make a nice wall of pliers

  • Counting the waves of tech industry BS from blockchain to AI

    Jump

  • Honestly, I really like containers for self-hosting stuff on my server. Just write a single text file describing the setup and you can always recreate it, even after nuking the server.

    No dependencies suddenly going missing or different versions of the same program being required by two services.

    I guess my main takeaway from this article is that many of those things (definitely not all of them) are good ideas within moderation. Then along comes the marketing department and rips the moderation apart.

  • Jokes on them, my fingerprint scanner refuses to recognize my fingerprint 75% of the time. Maybe because I use GrapheneOS

  • LG's new subscription program charges up to £277 per month to rent a TV

    Jump

  • Charge the customer for repairs? How? They probably aren't even reparable anymore. Also, I don't like the sound of this "free upgrade". That sounds like a TV replacement with a more expensive one while the previous one goes in the trash

  • What's your favourite historical photo and why?

  • I can't think of a great historical photo right now but I'm loving this thread

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

    Jump

  • Mainly kernel level anticheat, though that is obviously not really linux fault.

    My other personal gripe is probably stumbling across a GTK based app that works for what I want it to do but clashes extremely badly with my Plasma DE.

    For example, I wanted to set up automatic file backups to an SFTP server using borg. The two common UI interfaces I found are vorta and pika-backup. Vorta only supports SSH and local backup repositories while pika allows SFTP through some kind of compatibility layer with gvfs.

    Seems like pika is the right choice for me but the UI felt incredibly dumbed down and really did not match with anything else on my PC. Since both programs were kind of out, I found another backup tool in Kopia.

    The reason I was looking for a backup tool at all? I was previously using synology active backup for business, which is available on all linux distros except arch.

  • The one thing I can't get set up on Kate is leaving temporary text files open between sessions.

    Probably a bad habit of mine but I sometimes end up pasting some info into a notepad++ file without saving it and then come back much later to check it out again

  • Restaurants say big chains pretend to be independents on apps

    Jump

  • I find apps very useful for discovering places I can order from. Typically I will then visit their own website and see if they are cheaper when ordering directly

  • ;DR blame the dev

    Jump

  • I know that some people have managed to get it working but I have yet to see it in practice. Granted, my experience in the industries is currently only what I learned during my studies and 2 internships.

    In general, C is supported. C++ is sometimes supported and very few people even talk about Rust.

  • As an embedded dev, good luck not using C
